Hurricane Sandy

Please pray for folks living from Washington DC-Boston as Hurricane Sandy's going to attack the east coast and New York.

Fictionally speaking, wonder if TMNT had evacuated from the sewer?

It's doing New York right now, but it has been downgraded to a storm.

NY and affected surrounds, you're in my thoughts - this is big news, even on this side of the world. Don't get blown away my brothers and sisters.

So, CNN just cut from live footage of Sandy to an advertisement for Atlantis waterparks in what must surely be a milestone in the development of a more withering, sardonic 24-hour news cycle.

My prayers and wishes for a speedy cleanup and return to normal. Its bad news though if you want insurance. Since Channel 6 and other stations surely would give plenty of warning, and they would just hang out with April until the storm passes.

Sandy seems to be out of New York, but of course it did a lot of damage. Power was lost in many areas, trees were blown down and crushed peoples' vehicles, and roadways were flooded to the point that they needed to be closed off. I obviously have power, and I never lost it, but the lights flickered from time to time.

My thoughts are with those affected by Sandy. We're getting high winds here and are supposed to have them throughout the day. Power just flickered here, though it didn't go out yet. That's not to say we won't lose it with this wind.

In Maryland (at least the area I'm from), fortunately we didn't seem to have any major things happen as far as I can tell. Power is still running and I don't see any damage to peoples' houses.

I just hope that others are/will be alright during this time. It's pretty scary stuff to say the least.

i consider myself to be very lucky..lights were flickering but it held up last night...surprised to see no trees fell on my block...But i went out today and wow...so many trees down...

But man, seeing on the news that a building in manhattan collapsed and then seeing that all of lower manhattan, parts of queens and brooklyn under water..it was crazy...I live more inland in brooklyn so I wasn't affected by flooding...

lower manhattan still has no power; the subway system will take at least 4 days to pump out the sea water and for some service to be restored. 100 homes were burned in breezy point, queens...very devasting..this is what's left of that fire

My cousine and my aunt was on a trip to NY, they stayed at some of my uncles family instead of the hotel.

They re fine, but the neighbor's tree fell down, a huge old tree. Luckily only a car got smashed.

President Obama just toured the disaster areas and made a speech about recovering from the storm.

We didn't get hit too bad out here in Pennsylvania, but power's still out in some areas and a lot of trees have been uprooted.

In Lieu of prayers for Boston, donations can be sent to The American Red Cross for help with the clean up efforts in Lower Manhattan, Staten Island, and New Jersey.
